The Plane of Water

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, which teems with things innumerable, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and leviathan [the whale] which Thou didst form to sport in it.
    -- Psalm 104: 31
The elemental plane of water is a universe made from of every kind of liquid water. Protection from the plane is not required, but some magical means of breathing will need to be found. Finny aquatic versions of familiar creatures fill the oceans. Visitors move by swimming, or choosing a direction to fall. Water genies are preposterous egotists. Water elementals are a bland, easy-going lot. Elementals from this plane excel at sinking ships. Elemental servants from this plane excel at nautical havoc, and all missions in deep water. Waterweirds are psychotic killers. Tritons and nereids are pleasant and helpful. There are realms devoted to navigation, filled with all kinds of ships. Select encounters from among the following:

The Ministry of Elemental Good -- Water Ministers

The Bible presents water as symbol of chaos (in creation) and destruction (the flood), and also of refreshment in the desert (Psalms, elsewhere) and rescue (the parting of the Red Sea, the practice of baptism, the "living waters" of the New Testament). The Koran promises plentiful fresh water in heaven.

Water ministers exhort people to find joy simply in being alive. They encourage people to live clean, and proselytize and lead initiations for the faithful. They get a free proficiency in swimming, boating, navigation, or fishing (referee's choice).
